woa, ross........pro! thanks for the info, the only prob is i know want a 3.0 even more........since youre quite educated on the subject, would it be wise to do intake,headers,exhuast,bigger fuel pump,rail,and injectors on my 2.2......do you think i'd notice alot more improvement........i must admit, im a little fuzy with the fuel side of it........as i think alot of people are....

very simple.

match the air fuel ration = better performance.

hes exactly right, and yet all people do is air, and not fuel. i cant tell you how many intakes, headers, and mufflers we sell at the shop, but i can tell you we only ever sold 1 fuel rail, 1 adjustable pressure regulator, and 1 fuel pump. and they were all bought by the same guy.

granted i can understand doing the swap from the f22 to the h22 just because the h22 design has more potential. the reality is people are now building "all motor" cars, and in japan the 4 cylinders do not rule, the v6's do.

another thing, i would rather turbo a non vtec motor because the tuning is so hard to do when the vtec activated.

we are currently building a 94 civic 1.5 sohc non vtec (d15b7). the bottom of the barrel, 92 hp from the factory. but we are not running turbo, and probably not nos. we want to be a little different with this one and see if we can get it in the low 13's.

on it, we already have the 1.6 intake manifold, SPE throttle spacer, aem cai, pacesetter headers, 2" straight back into a tanabe race medallion, aem fuel rail, aem fpr, 1 year old tranny, del sol seats, gutted interior, and some gauges. next is the fuel pump and the injectors cuz right now we are running over 40 pounds of gas and still running lean!!! (considering 30 is stock) the o2 sensor might be going too, but we realize when doing fuel you start from the back of the fuel system and go forward, and unlike air flow, you probably wont notice a difference until you do the whole system together at once (pump, reg, rail, injectors, and maybe a hi flow filter).

just some insight, hope you enjoy.

hey ross, have you looked into the 6 speed conversions at all, we took a look at the CLS 6-speed and it doesn't look to hard of a swap. Once you get pass the programming and such. But do you know if the accords 6 speed is different? Would it be a better bet.

rmstoico

good question... i havent looked into it at all. all i know is i probably dont have a clue how to do it. trannies arent my thing. i know when to admit i am ignorant about cars, and trannies are it. anyway, let me know if you find anything.

o snap its eric

ross laid the smack down! j30 = better than h22? i f that is true then shouldnt the damn lude swap our engines to their cars?

CLpower

snap, only if you can find something to make the tranny stronger. OUr motors are pointless w/o a better tranny. That and everything you do will have to be custom. Thus making the lude a very smart decision when it comes to swaps
